What this charter's funds can cover
iLEAD Exploration's own policy
Policy, no roster iLEAD Exploration's own site confirms families use instructional funds to buy from approved Educational Materials Vendors (curriculum, books, supplies) or approved Vendor Contract Instructors (classes, lessons), through a teacher-guided approval process. The current named vendor list itself renders through a search tool we couldn't open. (source, as of 2026-09-25)
Categories named on the charter's own site: Curriculum & materials (from approved Educational Materials Vendors)Classes & lessons (from approved Vendor Contract Instructors)
What stands out
- Authorizer: Program describes itself as 'chartered by the Acton/Agua Dulce School District.' Not yet cross-checked against a CDE School Directory CDS-code page for this specific entity (iLEAD Lancaster Charter, a related but separate iLEAD entity, was confirmed via CDE as authorized by Lancaster Elementary SD, LA County).
- Funding: iLEAD's own site (ileadexploration.org) confirms instructional funds exist ('allocated to learners for curriculum and instructional choices') but does not itself state a dollar figure on the pages checked. Do not treat the dollar amount as verified: it comes from a third-party blog, which the brief flags as unreliable for funding figures. Needs a primary-source page or FAQ PDF to verify.
- Curriculum: General CA charter law point (publicly funded curriculum/services must be nonsectarian) confirmed via a different charter's FAQ; applies to all charters as a matter of law, but not independently confirmed on iLEAD's own site language.
